[Asia Economy Reporter Seongpil Cho] On the 15th, the National Police Agency held the 5th 'Police Grand Innovation Task Force (TF) General Meeting' at the Seodaemun-gu office in Seoul, chaired by co-chairmen Changwon Lee, President of Hansung University, and Hyunbae Jo, former Commissioner of the Korea Coast Guard, to present interim results of their activities.

The National Police Agency stated that the TF reviewed the progress of 20 innovation tasks discussed in the 1st to 4th meetings and examined voices from the field. The TF also plans to report the police grand innovation tasks included in the interim results to the 'Pan-Government National Safety System Reform TF,' the agency added.

The TF has applied 10 tasks requiring urgent implementation to the field as 'immediate implementation' tasks to ensure public safety. For the other 10 innovation tasks requiring review of laws and systems to strengthen police response capabilities, the TF has been examining specific execution plans.

After today's meeting, the TF plans to check the field application of the grand innovation tasks and support the pan-government TF in preparing countermeasures. It will also continue reviewing additional innovation proposals. Furthermore, if the causes of the disaster are identified through future investigation results, the TF will supplement related content and prepare a 'Comprehensive Activity Report' next year.

The TF was formed on the 9th of last month to prevent recurrence of similar accidents following the Itaewon disaster. It consists of three teams with a total of 125 police officers and civilian experts participating. Under the co-chairmen's leadership, the TF has held general meetings once a week with TF members (internal and external) and on-site police advisory groups participating.
